Abdominal CT Scan

An abdominal CT scan is a medical imaging test that uses X-rays and computer technology to create detailed pictures of the inside of your abdomen. It helps doctors visualize organs like the liver, kidneys, and intestines for diagnosing conditions such as tumors, infections, or injuries. During the scan, you lie on a table that moves through a large, doughnut-shaped machine. The procedure is quick, usually taking about 10 to 30 minutes, and is non-invasive. Sometimes, a contrast dye may be used to enhance the images. It’s a valuable tool for helping guide treatment decisions.
